Clough-Brengle web page
 

Since we were sent home from work because of the
blizzard and have been snowed in all afternoon, I decided
to use the time to work on a web page I'd been thinking
about.
It's going to be all about Clough-Brengle equipment,
both test gear and transmitters.
It's far from being finished, but there's enough there
to be looked at. Check it out here,
http://radioheaven.homestead.com/CloughBrengle.html
There's more coming soon.

73, Ron

Nice start. One Suggestion - crank up the jpeg compression on the pictu

491K on an opening graphic really slows down the page loading...

I shall have to look and simultaneously sympathize with your poor lot. I
have but two small but wretched patches of ice left in the shadow of a bush.
Rain, wind and near 50 highs have replaced the snow (but it did snow a foot
at the ski hill 200 miles away). The lows did bring lots of slides on the
roadways though.

Even better, store it as a .gif (4 bits = 16 colours greyscale) or .png.
Jpg is best for photo-realistic images, whereas .gif does best on line
drawings, text, other such high-contrast stuff. Png is somewhere in the
middle, trying to accomodate both within the same file format.

Cheers,
Fred

Cool, they made some really nice quality equipment. I have a model 111
Frequency Modulator for visual alignment. Also have a 1940 catalog with
price list. If you would like any pics of the 111 or scans of the catalog
let me know.

Good suggestion. I've found that GIF is by far the best on B/W line drawings,
and even Microsoft Paint mitmap output with 4 or 16 colors, but I still mean
line drawings.

However, on a grayscale photo, even when cut to 16 shades of gray, I find GIF
files are bigger than JPG. Best is to try both schemes. pick the smaller file.

Don't know how much software can handle PNG format, though that may be the new
format that someone helped me test on my photo viewer last month.

Oh yes, I have two really old pieces of Clough-Brengle test gear -- a signal
generator with a rotary turret bandswitch (very compact, though), and a
motor-driven wobbulator sweep generator. They are both AC/DC, so I've been in
no hurry to try them out :-)

OK, I dug out my two pieces for model numbers. My frequency modulator or sweep
oscillator is a Model 81-A. It takes the output from a conventioanl RF
generator and heterodynes it into a swept output at an offset.

My RF generator is a Model 01, as far as I can read the messy stamping on the
nameplate. It has a rotary turrent band selection, and a really sweet dual
dial readout from 0-300, which must be translated by a calibratin chart built
onto the top of the unit. Covers 50KC to 30MC in 6 bands. Very compact case,
not heavy.

The 01 is AC/DC so I haven't tried to use it, but the 81-A sweeper has a power
trans so I really should try it out -- I do like to align IFs by scope
sweeping.

These units are pretty clean inside and out so would take great photos. Let me
know if you want some shots. 73, Mike K.

Now having seen the opening page graphic, I can tell it's a 2-color (B&W)
typewritten page, and it would certainly do much better as a GIF. Yes, it takes
a long time to load.

The transmitter photos also load slowly, but they are of superb quality and I
wouldn't mess with them! Looking forward to some test gear shots (I can
contribute some, as previously noted). 73 es tnx, Mike K.

It is a .gif, it only takes about 5 seconds to load here.

I'm working on some test equipment stuff.
The only problem is that to get scans that look
like anything, they're really BIG file.
And the scanned photos from the C-B catalogs
are really grainy.
I may just take some digital photos of my pieces
of C-B stuff.
I'll keep trying.

YES, by all means.
